My Rendition (If you dont mind):
A week later, Sydney drove nadia over to the bristow's house...
"Are you sure your ready?" Sydney asked.
"As I'll ever be." Nadia replied her voice shaking. Sydney placed her hand on Nadia's hoping to show her that she was there for her.
"It'll be fine."
-----
"You WHAT?!?!" Jack roared.
"Honey... calm down" Irina placed her hand on Jack's shoulder, holding him back.
"It's just so unresponsible of her! He can have a kid! he's still over there for god knows how long!" He argued.
"It'll work out. Just calm down."
"When are you gonna tell him?" Irina asked Nadia.
"Never." She replied very quietly.
"You have to tell him. He deserves to know." Jack said.
"I dont want him worrying about it. I'll be fine."
"This is perposterous." Jack mttered leaving the room.

Chapter 35
That evening a very nervous Nadia accompanied by Sydney and Michael went over to the Bristow residence to break the news. Nadia was practically shaking by the time they pulled up in the driveway. So much so that Sydney had to help her inside while telling her everything would be alright.

“They hate me.” Nadia cried once Sydney and Michael were driving her back to her apartment.

“No, they don’t.” Sydney said.

“Yes they do.” She choked. “And they probably think I’m some stupid whore. I am! I am a whore who got knocked up by a guy she knew for six days.”

“Ohh Nadia don’t think that,” Sydney sighed.

“But it’s true.” She sobbed.

“Nadia, no one thinks you’re a whore. It’s going to be ok.” Sydney told her.

“But what about Nathan? He probably doesn’t want this.”

“Nathan will be fine with it, I’m sure,” Sydney said.

“But what about...”

~*~

“Poor Nadia...” Sydney sighed once she and Michael had dropped her off.

“Yeah.” Michael sighed. “But it will all be ok.”

“Yeah, I hope so.” Sydney gave a small smile.

For the next two weeks Michael thought about one thing over and over in his mind so much that it really became an obsession. He couldn’t help but have his mind drift back to when Sydney had thought she was pregnant and now, Nadia was pregnant. Suddenly he was noticing babies and how adorable they were everywhere they went. Whenever a tiny toddler smiled at him his heart warmed and skipped a beat.

He never actually thought his thoughts were crazy either. He was comforted by them and finally he was brave enough to bring up the idea with Sydney, rather bluntly actually.

“I think we should have a baby,” he said one night while they were sitting at the table eating dinner rather quietly.

Sydney, thinking he was joking, burst out laughing. “Wait, why aren’t you laughing?” He didn’t respond; he just looked down at his plate. “You’re serious?!”

“Yes,” he said quietly.

“What brought this on? Nadia?” Sydney asked.

“Yes... and you thinking you were pregnant before. I was thinking about it and we could-”

“Michael.” Sydney sighed. “I’m only twenty three... not to mention that we’ve barely been engaged for a month!”

“It’s almost two months,” Michael said.

“Still.... I’m sorry Michael, but it’s too soon. I’d like it if we were actually married first,” she said.

“But I’m not getting any younger and-”

“Any younger?! Sydney laughed. “You’re only twenty six!”

“Well excuse me for planning for our future!” he snapped. “I think having a baby is a good idea.”

“Michael, I’m not ready to quit my career and have a baby.”

“No one said you had to quit.”

“Oh, and you were going to stay home with the baby were you?” Sydney asked with her arms folded over her chest.

“No we could ... get help or something.”

“Ohhhhh right so the nanny would raise our baby... and by the time we’d get home he or she would practically be asleep so we’d see them on weekends? And the point of having the baby would be.....”

“Look I just wanted you to consider it,” he said.

“Fine I considered it. No,” she said sharply as she walked off and slammed the door to their bedroom.

~*~

Twenty minutes later Sydney came out of the bedroom looking rather sheepish. She sat down on the couch next to Michael who barely looked at her as she did so. “Sorry I was so short with you. You obviously really want this.”

“I do,” he said.

“I know... but I don’t want our baby to be raised by a nanny. I want to do it I just... I don’t want to give up my career yet.”

“I know. I don’t want you to have to do that either,” he sighed. “I also don’t want to be thirty five by the time we have our first baby.”

“Because that’s really, REALLY old.” She smiled.

“No.” He laughed. “But...”

She leaned over and kissed him sweetly. “What if I promise you we’ll have a baby before you’re thirty? That gives us almost four years of practice.”

Great update!
I think that it's so cute that Vaughn wants a baby but I undertand that Syd wants to wait. And I think that Jack and Irina took the news about Nadia being pregnant very well. Thanks for the PM and I can't wait for more.
